Reese Witherspoon stars as Becky Sharp in this film version
of the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. The contrast between clever
but poor Becky Sharp and her childhood friend Amelia Sedley (Romola Garai)
drives the story. Amelia is naïve and trusting but has a comfortable life, while
Becky has to rely on her wit, cunning and looks in order to advance herself in
London society circa 1820. Also with Jim Broadbent, Eileen Atkins, James Purefoy
and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Directed by Mira Nair. [2:20 - PG-13]
